Problem description: When I play a YouTube video in any browser, the "background sound" works fine but any voices are low volume and mumbled. If the voice is over a sound, say a World of Warships commentator is talking about blowing a ship up, and it blows up as he describes it, the voice comes through at almost normal volume but drops as soon as the explosion is over. All game sounds work fine, windows action sounds work fine and if I select my default audio device to my headphones, YouTube videos play perfectly. Attempted fixes: Updated all drivers via AVG driver updater, ran virus scanner, read way more stupid Google comments than I care to admit. Recent changes: No hardware changes but I did notice that there had been a Windows security update done automatically. I checked all the updates and there did not appear to be any sound related ones. -- Operating system: Windows 7 System specs: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Gaming graphics 9962 MB Total available graphics memory Primary hard disk 6GB Free (111GB Total) Windows 7 Professional System -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

That's very odd. The kind of sound you're describing reminds me of Out of Phase sound. I can't think of any other reason why some parts of the sound come through and others don't. Sometimes having a wire not pushed in all the way or a broken or weak wire can cause it (I've experienced both) You might not notice it if the audio doesn't use stereo channels that cancel out. Here's a YouTube video about it (if you can hear it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc1Z1ck9hKQ You might want to try listen to some music you know very well and see if any parts of the music drop out. Then it'll be clearer if you're out of phase or not. The effects can be interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kmqwUwPlA0 Or maybe that's not it at all, but that's my guess.

1. Uninstall everything from AVG from your system. None of that is any good. 2. Install the latest audio drivers from the Realtek website. 3. Make sure your speaker mode matches what is actually connected, so if you have Stereo speakers it is set to Stereo. 4. If it still doesn't work, reseat the speaker cable at both ends.
